Xiao Hei looked exhausted after waking up.

When I opened my eyes, I was met with Haotian's stunningly beautiful face.

A lap pillow...that's really nice.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the two of them looked at each other quietly.

It's wonderful; it even makes me feel like nothing else in the world matters.

Xiao Hei casually asked, "Want a kiss?"

The other party quickly replied, "No."

The atmosphere was supposed to be relaxed and pleasant, but it felt like two wounded people were awkwardly embracing each other...

...

In the following days, Diefang would frequently go to Haotian to ask him about cultivation issues.

Although the path she wanted to take had begun to take shape, she actually just wanted to see her master more.

Looking at her master's gentle appearance, she couldn't help but fantasize about the days when they would be husband and wife and mother together.

Diefang adopted the role of her husband, with her earning money and taking care of the family outside, while her master waited patiently at home for her to return.

A pair of lovebirds, an unparalleled couple.

Master is so beautiful... I really want to take a bite.

When did my feelings for my master change...? Was it when he first saved me, or was it from the very beginning when we first met...?

She didn't understand, she wasn't clear about, but what she was clear about was the heart of this rebellious disciple.

Diefang casually placed her hand on Haotian's hand, slowly taking his soft, fair hand in hers.

"Master, please don't leave me."

She was like a wounded little animal, yearning for and longing for the warmth of the heavens.

Haotian simply withdrew his hand, leaving Diefang's empty fist falling to the ground.

He placed it on Diefang's head and gently rubbed it.

"It probably won't happen..."

In the blink of an eye, Diefang is no longer a little girl. In just over a year, she has grown up so fast and is now a bright and outstanding young woman.

In a few years, she'll be as tall as me.

I might not be able to so easily pat her head then.

She understands the girl's thoughts.

But... she doesn't respond.

Diefang's life has just begun, and she has a long future ahead of her, during which she will meet many interesting people.

And I... am merely someone hovering on the edge of my doom.

A little girl's feelings are naive; she will understand when the time comes.

Diefang couldn't help but want to hug Haotian.

Her face was pressed against Haotian's chest...

Her face was already flushed.

"Master, please sleep with us tonight."

"Hmm... that's fine, but if you try anything funny, I'll throw you out!"

...

That evening, Chu Xinqiao was imprisoned in the Cold Palace by Haotian.

Diefang swaggered onto her bed with the three little ones.

Before arriving, the four of them took a bath and washed themselves.

I didn't do anything out of line; I just quietly enjoyed the warmth and gradually fell asleep amidst the familiar, sweet fragrance in the air.

I feel at ease.

The connection between these people, and the distance between their hearts, has taken another step closer.

Early the next morning.

Having struggled out of the cold palace, Chu Xinqiao pushed open the door and saw five people lying on the bed. Haotian was lying in the middle, with Diefang and Wenxin holding her hands and feet respectively.

Chu Xinqiao pouted.

He forcefully pried open Diefang's hands, pushed Wenxin's face away, and then, like an eight-legged octopus, hugged Haotian and pressed down on her.

Her movements quickly alerted Diefang and the others, including Haotian.

Diefang: If I weren't so weak, I would definitely tell her why the flowers are so red...

Wenxin: This woman doesn't smell as good as my master...

Xinyu: Master can't beat me, and there are too many competitors, what should I do...?

Xiao Fangying, on the other hand, expressed that she would not compete or fight.

Haotian pushed away Chu Xinqiao, who wanted to get close to him, with a displeased expression.

It's almost time. Today we should go to the Sword Domain for the banquet. Since we made a promise, we should keep it. Besides, Haotian also likes this place where geniuses gather. It would be good for Diefang and the others to develop their own friends and lovers.

After learning that Haotian wanted to go out and see the world, Xiaohei did not choose to stop him or say anything more.

She smiled and said she would wait for them inside the courtyard.

Chu Xinqiao only realized that Haotian was going out to attend a banquet when Haotian was packing his things.

She immediately said she wanted to go too.

However, it was ruthlessly suppressed by Haotian.

"If you want to go, you can't cause me any trouble. First, you need to disguise yourself as an ordinary person. Second, you can't make any rash moves without my permission. This is my incognito visit!"

Chu Xinqiao immediately lay down on Haotian's body.

Like a clingy puppy, it affectionately stroked her face.

"Sure, whatever you want, I'm the most obedient person."

Haotian: ...If you were the most obedient person, you wouldn't be standing in front of me.

Chu Xinqiao was driven away by Haotian, and Diefang and the others also went to pack their things.

The next moment, a dazzling light emanated from Haotian's body.

A short while later, a cute little girl named Haotian appeared in the same spot.

She was like a delicate porcelain doll, with skin as white and tender as snow, and eyes as bright as stars. Her white hair shimmered like silver threads, complementing her innocent smile and giving her an angelic appearance.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing her white hair to flutter like a blooming snowflake, beautiful and captivating. Her charm struck a chord deep within Chu Xinqiao's heart.

Chu Xinqiao: Wow, what kind of creature is this?! So cute! So adorable! I want to hug it and kiss it endlessly.

Haotian felt a pair of restless hands, and a helpless expression instantly appeared on his cute little face.

Chu Xinqiao: Waaaaah, even this expression is incredibly cute, I want to kiss her.

At this moment, Haotian was no longer a mature, charming, and stunningly beautiful woman, but a cute and delicate little girl who made people want to commit a crime.

She raised her little hand towards Chu Xinqiao.

He gestured for her to squat down.

Chu Xinqiao knelt down in front of her, grabbed Haotian's small hand, and tried to put it in her mouth...

But the next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from Chu Xinqiao's body.

Chu Xinqiao, who was originally as majestic and charming as an empress, has been transformed into an incredibly cute porcelain doll the same size as Haotian now.

Chu Xinqiao quickly adapted to her height.

Her tiny hand quickly took Haotian's small hand in hers, and with shy and clumsy movements, she pecked at Haotian's face like a little chick.

Haotian remained calm, as if he were used to everything.

Even Chu Xinqiao was unaware that Haotian possessed such great and profound Taoist arts.

Chu Xinqiao felt incredibly happy.

Soft and fragrant, keep kissing!

Soon, Diefang returned to the courtyard after packing her things...

For a moment, time seemed to freeze.
